Hawthorn Products

It is a large genus of shrubs and trees in the Rosaceae Family. It is currently estimated that there are 200 species. They can grow 16-49 ft. tall (5-15 meters), with small pome fruit and usually thorny branches. Some thorns can grow to be three inches long! The leaves grow spirally arranged on long shoots and in clusters on spur shoots on the branches. The “fruit” (sometimes known as the “haw”) is berry-like but structurally contains 1-5 pyrenes that resemble “stones” of plums and peaches, etc.

Habitat: Hawthorn is native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere in Europe, Asia, and North America.

Hawthorn berries are packed with nutrition. They are a rich source of polyphenols that contain powerful antioxidant properties.

In Iran, the fruit is eaten raw as a snack or made into jelly. In Mexico, the berries (called “tejocotes”) are stuffed into pinatas during the pre-Christmas celebration Las Posadas. In the ancient Middle East, it is suggested that hawthorn was the source of Jesus’s crown of thorns. In Britain and Ireland, it is considered bad luck to uproot the plant. In Gaelic folklore, hawthorn is said to mark the entrance of the “otherworld” and is strongly associated with the fairies. Serbian and Croatian folklore notes that hawthorn is deadly to vampires and stakes used for their slaying must be made from hawthorn wood.
